WEST WIND boasts the standard Swan 36 three-cabin layout with finely crafted light teak and hand-rubbed varnish. The forward cabin includes a new "V" berth, storage, and hanging locker. The head, accessible from both the fore-cabin and salon, features a shower-converting sink. The salon has a drop-leaf table and 6.4' settee berths. Wrap-over windows, halogen lights, and an Arctic diesel furnace provide comfort. The galley offers a 3-burner stove, fridge, stainless sinks, and storage. The starboard cabin has convertible berths and ample locker space, while the nav area includes chart storage and electronics displays.

Accommodations

Below deck, the Swan 36 offers a bright and spacious three-cabin layout with full headroom and a flat sole throughout. The forward owner’s stateroom and aft cabin provide comfortable accommodations alongside a modern, side-on navigation station with a touch-sensitive switchboard. The well-equipped galley features double stainless sinks, a four-compartment top-loaded refrigerator, and a gimbaled three-burner stove with an extractor fan and remote gas shut-off for safety. The pressurized hot/cold water system extends to the large head, which includes a shower, oilskin locker, and dual access. The saloon has wide settees with bolstered fronts for extra comfort, while six berths—two of which can be doubles—are all 6.4' long.

Sails and Rigging

Quoted from the Swan 36 brochure:

On the water, the Swan 36 showcases its pedigree with fast acceleration, excellent speed, and a maneuverable hull, delivering a confident sailing experience for cruising or racing. Designed for performance, strength, and ease of handling, most functions are operated from the cockpit, including sail reduction via a single-line reefing system. Equipped with Lewmar self-tailing winches, Spinlock stoppers, and custom-engineered components like an anchor-clamping bow roller and mast, Nautor ensures superior craftsmanship and reliability. The masthead rig can support an optional furling genoa system for efficiency, while the 28hp Volvo Penta engine delivers 7 knots or more under power.

Deck & Hull

Quoted from the Swan 36 brochure:
The Swan 36 introduces a new level of sophistication, featuring a single-skin, hand-laid hull with a durable synthetic weave and a system of prefabricated stiffeners that double as conduits and furniture bases. Its design offers practicality and style, with an optional bathing platform, raised coachroof, and a deep, secure cockpit with walk-through access. Thoughtful details like ample handholds, precision-engineered deck fittings, and vacuum-glued teak decks minimize leaks and enhance durability. The Swan 36 combines function and form, ensuring space, light, safety, and comfort on board.
